My pleasure, folks. I think the CD gets released early next year, so I imagine it won't be available until sometime around then.

full album leaked last week

is it just me or is jim singing in a higher register or *gasp* maybe even tweaked higher in this studio version? just a smidgen?

Aww gawd I'll go to bed with a smile on my mug tonight.  Seems reverb-less--yes(?)

Damn, this sounds good. Good job, guys!

"...check My Morning Jacket's cover of Makes No Difference, which showcases Bo Koster's shimmering keyboard work, a perfect update on Richard Manuel's original piano chords"

High praise indeed, completely justified! We love you Bo!

Yep, Bo knows him some keys and I was pretty pissed off about him not makeing the cut for Rukus, I mean who says you can't have two keyboard players anyway.  Man, that is one totally badass picture there Meister.  Who took that one?

Yer I thought the same thing about Bo not being in Elizabethtown, real shame.

The pic was taken by our very own CC Baxter! (London Astoria, Sept 22 06)

We really are spoilt with the gallery, SO many excellent pics!

Hot Damn Riny, I should have known it was you.  Beautiful work indeed.

I have my clock radio set to WFPK here in Louisville and this morning at 8 o'clock when the damn thing went off, I awoke to this song! Excellent way to start off the day.

From allmusic.com:
"Guster's reverent and moving read of "This Wheel's on Fire," opens the set; it's a beautiful place to start because it's followed in true Band fashion by Hornsby's swinging, funky rendition of "King Harvest," only to be underscored by My Morning Jacket's "It Makes No Difference." It's true that nobody could sing this song like Rick Danko, but it's played with such understated passion and tension that it's as necessary a cover as there ever has been."

I thought you were going to be looking at clouds today instead of farting around the internet 8-)  Just a friendly reminder ;)

You're punishment shall be to take some more good pictures of said clouds.  Do this and you shall be forgiven ;)

This song is pretty freakin awesome!!!


the rest of the disc that i've heard so far is pretty sweet too!!

ahhhhhhh....i am happy now! it sounds like he's singing with all of his heart.  omg.  

I hope Carl does more backing vocals and sax playing on the next album.  they sound wonderful together.  I want to give them all a big old hug for this song.  They deserve it. They really do!

The guitar work is extraordinary on this cut. I love it! I have it on repeat!  
Nice work guys!

just heard it on outlaw country of all stations on sirius. it was awesome when they covered it at bonnaroo as well, but it needed the studio polish to make it so my girlfriend could tolerate it haha

I am OFFICIALLY addicted to this song... ahhhh!!   :D

"My Morning Jacket dusts off "It Makes No Difference" with both a lengthy sax solo and a grungy Neil Young guitar sound. Surprisingly, it's one of the strongest tracks on the CD and an excellent representation of the old meets new. Who would have known that My Morning Jacket had it in them?"


This cracks me up.  People become educated every day I suppose.

Who would have known?  Anyone?

I think we'll forget about this song after the new album, but years later on MMJ's eight millionth world tour they'll bring it out again. And we'll remember how great a song it truly was.

I do hope they play it at Langerado.

...i knew they had it in them. Are people starting to "get it" ???

I just got this off of iTunes.  I freaking LOVE it!!  It's SO awesome!!  I've never heard the original, but I'm guessing the MMJ version blows it out of the water!

Hmm, are you familiar with The Band?

Yes I think its safe to say we all reccomend The Band to you. You have to see The Last Waltz!

The original is a classic but this cover definitely does it justice!!!!

I have to agree with the Chief, I still can't stop listening to this cover. They went beyond the call of cover versions and into the realm of classic.
